2026 SKK GSB New Year's Party
Bringing together the SKK GSB community for a meaningful start to the year.
SKK GSB kicked off 2026 with its Alumni New Year’s Party, held on February 26 at the Grand Hyatt Seoul, bringing together over 200 alumni, students, and faculty for an evening of reconnection.
Hosted by the SKK GSB Alumni Association, the event brought together participants from across programs and industries, reflecting the strength of the broader SKK GSB community. With a global alumni network spanning over 2,500 members across 77 countries, the gathering highlighted the school’s connected community worldwide.
Thanks to the support of alumni and students, as well as the participation of the community, the evening became a meaningful occasion that brought the SKK GSB community together.
Connecting Beyond the Classroom
Students from the FMBA and MMS programs, together with faculty and staff, recently gathered for a “Hike Together” event at Waryong Park. The group spent a spring morning exploring scenic trails and enjoying meaningful conversations along the way.
They followed a route through Malbawi, Sukjeongmun, Cheongundae, and Changuimun, taking in both the natural surroundings and the opportunity to connect beyond the classroom.
The hike offered a refreshing break from daily routines and a chance to experience a different side of the SKK GSB community. Moments like these reflect the close-knit and collaborative spirit that defines life at SKK GSB.
Faculty Insights
Perspectives from Our Faculty
Sharing insights on chipflation and rising costs in the AI era.
Prof. Terence Lim of SKK GSB shared his insights on “chipflation” in an interview with KBS News, highlighting rising costs across the technology sector driven by the growing demand and limited supply of memory chips in the AI era.
He noted that firms will need to continuously upgrade chips and servers, requiring repeated investments over time. The topic was also covered in the media under “AI-Driven Chip Shortage Pushes Up Electronic Devices Prices.”

Alumni Continuing Education(ACE) Program
Continue Learning with SKK GSB
The SKK GSB Alumni Continuing Education (ACE) Program continues to offer alumni the opportunity to return to the classroom and engage with MBA courses. While the application period for this term has closed, we’ve seen many alumni join even on short notice—often after just a few days of consideration.
As the program continues to grow, we plan to share more alumni stories and experiences to give a closer look at how ACE supports continued learning and professional development. Most courses are offered as PMBA electives and are typically held in the evenings, making them accessible alongside a full-time work schedule.
We encourage you to stay tuned for upcoming opportunities and consider joining us in a future term.
*You can find more information on the SKK GSB Alumni Association website.
